Taxis can be hailed on the streets or ordered by phone. The price depends on the taxi operator and needs to be displayed on the door of the taxi. The price is composed of a base fare (2-3 €) and a kilometre fare (0,4-0,9 €/km). Please ask about the fare before starting the journey. Also note that hailing a taxi or taking one that is parked at a taxi rank in front of a hotel or a tourist attraction can be more expensive. In order to save money we recommend you to call for a taxi by phone.
